Sensibility. 
Thine eye at others’ sorrow weeps, 
Thy lip at others’ joy looks gay; 
Thy heart’s deep fount of feeling keeps 
In gentle, yet perpetual play. 
The charms of nature thrill thy soul, 
For nature’s own true child thou art; 
And waves of earnest feeling roll 
In ceaseless music through thy heart.
